Now, meter is little less than

thirty-nine inches. in length. In
twenty-three meters, the width of
the st. Petersburg streets which are
mentioned above, there are about
seventy-five feet. The width OF
Franklin street in Wa-Keeney is
eighty feet. If the Russians can
encourage two rows Of Dutch lin
dens in a seventy-fve foot street,
Kansans certainly could tolerate one
row of box-elder or catalpa in street
five feet wider.
Active operations should be begun,
at once, by the council, looking to
the planting Of trees in several resi-
dence streets the coming spring.
The sense of these suggestions APP

KANSAS FOREST TREES.

We acknowledge, with thanks, the re-
ceipt of pamphlet, entitled "The Kansas
Forest Trees" It is the authorship of
w. A. Kellerman, Phi. D., Kansas Agri-
cultural College, and Mrs. w. A. Keller
man.
We take it that favor will be extended
to our readers by the Worlds copying,
in this connection, the names of the trees
of Kansas. AS surely as we have had to
struggle along with coarse and compare
lively worthless species of timber to get
start, we are going to have trees of i'm
proved qualities; and tits at once source
of pleasure and profit to know the species
which flourish in Kansas soils. We shall
give here only the common names of
Kansas trees, emitting until a future
time their description: Papaw; Eastwood;
prickly ash; wafer ash; holly; burning
bush; Indian cherry; buckeye etid,
sweet; soapberry; maple-sugar, soft, red;
box elder; sumach-dwarf, poison; black
locust; coffee tree; honey locust; red-bud;
plum or cherry-wild, or Canada plum,
hog plum, wild black cherry; American
crab apple; cockspur, red haw,

TREES IN ST. PETERSBURG.

The municipality of st. Petersburg has
decided to plant two rows of trees in all
the streets which are more than twenty
three meters broad There are sixty-five
such streets in the city. The Dutch lin.
den tree will be selected for the purpose,
as being best adapted to the climate of
ly growing trees. 1t is estimated that
the cost will be twenty-five rubles per
tree, or 625,OO0 rubles in all, as about
$4,000 trees will be required.
1t may have been observed that
when the WORLD knows we'll the
Importance Of any improvement, it
has way Of hammering until it
has been accomplished. We have
urged in the columns of this paper
the necessity of planting trees in the
streets Of Wa-Keeney. We have
shown how they would obstruct
hard winds and hot suns, and have a
decided tendency to keep down the
dust and prevent the spreading Of
fires. These points are mentioned
for absorption by those who care
no more for @sthetical surround
ings than for the depth at which
coal is found in Timbuctoo. For
people who crave the pleasure Of liv-
ing in a city made beautiful through
system of foresting, we have only
to commend this policy to secure
their ready assent.
The city council, we thought,
would have been willing to place
trees in Franklin street in the spring
of 1885 but for the belief of por-
ton of the members that the street
is too narrow. We contended that it
is not. We were willing to forego
the pleasure Of seeing trees placed at
regular distances, but would have
been content with seeing them placed
along the middle of the street, mid
way between the intersections Of
alleys with the street. Certainly,
this plan would deprive the business
men of their objection to trees in the
street, because the fronts Of their
store buildings would not be barrica-

Don't Experiment.

You cannot afford to waste time in ex-
perimenting when your lungs are in
danger. Consumption always seems at
first only cold. Do not permit any
dealer to impose upon you with some
cheap imitation of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption, conghs and
colds, but be sure you get the genuine.
Because he can make more profit he may
tell you he has something just as good, or
just the same. Don't be deceived, but
insist upon getting DR.. Kings New Dis
covery, which is guaranteed to give relief
in all Throat, Lung and Chest affections.

THE QUEEN SERIOUSLY ILL.

THE QUEEN SERIOUSLY ILL.
This does not refer to the Queen of
England, but the queen of household at
Lincoln, Neb., where she rules by COM
mon consent. "In March last, when six
months old, our baby was taken down
with what the physicians called "bron-
chitas" ian ordinary cold) and was very
sick for two weeks; she seemed to be filed
deep in the chest with phlegm which we
were unable to loosen; she could not lie
down at all, but had to be held upright,
else it caused her to cough severely; the
physician did not give her any relief, al
though the prescriptions were changed
every day. and sometimes twice a day;
this treatment was continued about ten
days and we finally determined to try a
bottle of Cbamberlain's Cough Remedy.
We obtained bottle and after giving
few doses she was relieved, breathing
easier and throwing off the phlegm and
getting to sleep, getting well in few
days, and we believe we owe her life to
the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Our oldest girl is subject to Group and
has had several severe attacks, but the
Cough Remedy las brought her out all
right with but two good doses, and we
would not 60 over night without bottle
in the house. We have great faith in it."

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The WORLD wants to part COM
pany with no subscriber who means
we'll. There are few men to whom
we have refused to send the paper,
because they did not pay for it in
advance. They are of the class who
could pay, but, in our judgment,
would not. At the same time, pow
erty Of the genuine variety never,
when we could prevent it, hos kept
any citizen Of Trego county from
getting the WORLD. Our bills have
to be paid promptly-a portion of
them each week and the other por-
ton each month. Our expenses are
heavy. Exact justice demands that
our dues be collected as regularly as
we have to pay our debts. On no
other basis can anybody figure for
us any reliable pay or profit.
We maintain a delicate register
Of the general financial condition Of
our people. Some Of them can pay
us easily for the WORLD. We shall
be glad to have them do so. We
shall regard the time between noao
and the first of January next as the
season for effecting general pay
ment of subscription dues. Those
who pay during this period what
they owe to the date Of calling on
us, and one year in advance, will re-
ceive, as gift, their choice of either
one of the following newspapers for
one year: National Republican,
Washington, D. G., one Of the ablest
political papers in the country;
Weekly Times, Leavenworth, Kan
sas, thoroughly Kansas paper, Re
publican in politics; Kansas Farmer,
the peer Of any agricultural and
stock journal in the land; Topeka
Weekly Capital splendid newspa-
per and political shoulder hitter Of
the prohibition Republican variety;
Live Stock Indicator, Kansas City,
brim full of news and wisdom for
stock men; Toledo Blade, "Nasby's"
world-renowned paper, prohibition
Republican and sound to the core on
general subjects.
1t would seem that there is more
in these sff- fer cur, TsaderSs than
for us. The national campaign Of
1888 is approaching, and Republi-
cans should be posted thoroughly on
issues and events. The WORLD it.
self will be lively and aggressive, as
usual, only more so. 1t will retain
its undisputed place as the reliable
exponent Of Republican principles
and of the best interests Of this re-
gion of country.

A FAMOUS DETECTIVE.

James jackson, the famous State detec-
tive, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
IN attendance at the prison. His duties
are to examine carefully the face of every
convict as ne enters, and to scrutlnize
every visitor in order to prevent any dis
charged convict from seeing his pals.
Occasionally he has to make long Jour
neys in pursuit of runaway prisoners or to
identify criminals convicted in other
States. He never makes a mistake; if
once he looks man in the eye he will
know him under any disguise, as he tells
his man by the look of his eyes. Once an
escaped convict had his nose pared
down one-third, but Jackson detected
him at once, notwithstanding this remark
able change of feature. Mr.. jackson
Is about feet s inches in height, about
b years old, of light and sinewy build,
with black hair and piercing black eyes,
and Is altogether remarkably handsome.
He knows about 10000 criminals. and it
is simply wonderful that he can distin-
gulsh the features of every one. On his
long journeys he eats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
night. When much fatigued by the jolt
ing of the cars on his tiresome trips he
uses two Allcock's Po-ous Plasters on
the small of the back, which give him
renewed vigor and quickly relieve HIN
of all WEAKNESS, These are the only two
remedies he uses, and he attributes his
vigor and remarkable health to AIcoch's
Porous Piasters and Brandreth's Pills
